Ceraeochrysa is genus of green lacewing in the family Chrysopidae found in the Americas.
The genus Ceraeochrysa was first described by Adams in 1982 after recognizing differences in the structure of genitalia from the genus Chrysopa . [1]
Many of the species have red or brown marks on the pronotum and one or two stripes on the scape. [1]
This genus occurs in the Americas from the southeast of Canada to Argentina. The greatest biodiversity is found in the Neotropics, particularly Brazil and Costa Rica. [1]
The genus Ceraeochrysa is the second largest genus within Chrysopidae and contains the following 61 species: [1] [2]
Green lacewings are insects in the large family Chrysopidae of the order Neuroptera. There are about 85 genera and 1,300–2,000 species in this widespread group. Members of the genera Chrysopa and Chrysoperla are very common in North America and Europe; they are very similar and many of their species have been moved from one genus to the other time and again, and in the nonscientific literature assignment to Chrysopa and Chrysoperla can rarely be relied upon. Since they are the most familiar neuropterans to many people, they are often simply called "lacewings". Since most of the diversity of Neuroptera are properly referred to as some sort of "lacewing", common lacewings is preferable.
Brachypelma is a genus of spiders in the family Theraphosidae (tarantulas). They may have bodies up to 6 cm long with legs of similar or greater lengths. Some species have brightly colored legs, with red or orange marks and rings.
Hemerobiidae is a family of Neuropteran insects commonly known as brown lacewings, comprising about 500 species in 28 genera. Most are yellow to dark brown, but some species are green. They are small; most have forewings 4–10 mm long. These insects differ from the somewhat similar Chrysopidae not only by the usual coloring but also by the wing venation: hemerobiids differ from chrysopids in having numerous long veins and forked costal cross veins. Some genera are widespread, but most are restricted to a single biogeographical realm. Some species have reduced wings to the degree that they are flightless. Imagines (adults) of subfamily Drepanepteryginae mimic dead leaves. Hemerobiid larvae are usually less hairy than chrysopid larvae.
The banded martin or banded sand martin is a small passerine bird in the swallow family Hirundinidae that is endemic to Africa. It is the only species placed in the genus Neophedina.
Boonea is a small genus of small sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks.
Knulliana is a genus of longhorn beetles. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Knulliana cincta, commonly known as the banded hickory borer. The species may be found throughout the eastern half of North America, including Mexico and the Bahamas, with one subspecies extending to the Sonoran Desert.
The Indochinese short-tailed shrew is a species of mammal of the family Soricidae found in China and Vietnam. The species is a semifossorial red-toothed shrew with a stout body and short, slender tail. Although this species was originally classified under Blarinella, recent Cytochrome b analysis suggests this species should be classified under a new genus, placing it in Parablarinella alongside one other species.
Cominella is a genus of carnivorous sea snails, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Cominellidae.
Pyramidella is a genus of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusc in the subfamily Pyramidellinae of the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.
Seila is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs or micromolluscs in the family Cerithiopsidae.
Chrysoperla is a genus of common green lacewings in the neuropteran family Chrysopidae. Therein they belong to the Chrysopini, the largest tribe of subfamily Chrysopinae. Their larvae are predatory and feed on aphids, and members of this genus have been used in biological pest control.
Chrysopinae is the nominate subfamily of green lacewings in the insect family Chrysopidae in the order Neuroptera. This subfamily is also the largest within the family and comprises about 60 genera.
Chrysoperla carnea, one of the species of common green lacewing, is an insect in the Chrysopidae family. Although the adults feed on nectar, pollen and aphid honeydew, the larvae are active predators and feed on aphids and other small insects. It has been used in the biological control of insect pests on crops.
Semachrysa is a genus of green lacewing found from Japan to Australia along the Western part of the Pacific Ocean. 20 Semachrysa species have been described between 1914 and 2012. 15 of them - one of which was new - have been included in a recent taxonomic study:
Ceraeochrysa lineaticornis is a species of green lacewing in the family Chrysopidae. It is found in North America.
Chrysopini is a tribe of green lacewings in the family Chrysopidae. There are about 32 genera and 926 described species in Chrysopini.
Leucochrysa is a genus of green lacewings in the family Chrysopidae. As of 2013, there are 196 described species in Leucochrysa, found in the Americas.
Leucochrysini is a tribe of green lacewings in the family Chrysopidae. There are 7 genera and 213 described species in Leucochrysini.
Apertochrysa is a genus of green lacewings in the family Chrysopidae. There are 183 described species in the genus.
Ceraeochrysa smithi is a species of green lacewing in the family Chrysopidae. It is found in the Caribbean Sea, Central America, North America, and South America.
